THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY,: NOVEMBER 13. 1917, CONVICTS READY TO BURN r PI ANT AT "PEN" i I V FAX X , r Letter Sent to Manager Crawford Threatened Ac tion. Unless Warden Mur phy Changed Policy. I Refused Permission to Finish 5, Up Work; Personal Mail t Opened; Keys Taken. I ' Balem, Or., Nov. IS. Governor vWlthycombe today called Secretary of 1 State Olcott and State Treasurer Kay pinto hla private office for a confer ence as to whether Robert Crawford, 2 who wti discharged yesterday by the governor as manager of the state flax J Industry, should be paid a bonus of $50 . a month be was promised by the stats t board If he made a financial success of the "undertaking, f. Both Plcott and Kay took the posl f tlon that the state board no longer has J anything to do with the flax business, 2.aa the last legislature, at the request (of the governor, passed a law giving the governor full authority over the J penitentiary and Its affairs, except In the purchase of supplies. fAs there Is now cash on hand, after current bills are paid, approximately to be worked into fiber to clear for the state approximately 126,000, even after the $10,000 borrowed when the flax buslnesa had been plunged Into the hole by former Manager J. O. Cady, it is. expected the governor will be forced to recognize the validity of Crawford's claim for his bonus. Will Know Today Th governor told Crawford this 1 forenoon that he will advise him of his r ni,inn luff. In th 1hv after he has I further consulted Warden Murphy and Sr. B. Goodln, secretary of the state board. 5- When Governor Wlthycombe tester I day asked for Crawford's resignation f he told him to make it effective De ? cember 1, but when Crawford returned to the penitentiary to wind up his I work at the flax plant Warden Murphy i refused to admit him. The warden! had gone to Crawford's' desk and t alezed all his private as well as state ' papers, and censored his private cor J respondence. 1 " He took Crawford's keys, removing from the ring the state keys and re c turning the private keys. He handled I Crawford's property as though Craw I ford had been a convict. T When Crawford asked the governor V for an explanation, the governor said ' Murphy had asked for Crawford's immediate removal on tne srrounaj r. that he rearea crawrora presence Would cause trouble among the con Vlcts. He referred to a letter from a . convict threatening to burn tho flax allL Crawford Gets letter 4 ford last week and was Immediately 1 turned over to Warden Murphy for his I Investigation. Instead. Of threatening X to burn the flax plant for any act of I Crawford, the threat was based on the 7 convicts' dissatisfaction with the i treatment being given by Murphy to Mike Anderson, 65 years old, who, the letter said, had been In the "bull pen' J for SO days on bread and water for it slight Infraction of the rules. 6 Crawford was told in the letter that X the flax plant would be burned If An X derson was not released. 1 .. "You can see what a fire in the flax 3 plant would do for you," says the let' ter. "You had better take this matter up with the governor. Don't think he Col. Jones Likes;; Plan to Entertain Soldiers in Homes Colonel Jones, commandant' at Vancouver barracks, gave his cor dial approval this morning to the plan of having the soldiers at Vancouver -as Thanksgiving dinner guests In Portland homes. "I consider It a. most excellent project,' he said. "The government provides the soldiers with plenty of good food, ' There is bo meed for them to be. invited out merely to feed them. But If the doors of Portland homes are opened - to them they will get a touch of home life which will, mean much to them." The Thanksgiving dinner plan was inaugurated by the Progressive Business Men's club at the sugges tion of D. J. Sldwell. J. P. Jaeger, prominent in the work" of the -club, took up the Idea and received 60 Invitations Monday. B. F. Boynton, chairman of the committee on arrangements, re ceived 140 invitations In two hours this morning. Mr. Boynton can be reached by telephoning A-C131 or Main 2270. J near the primary. These men are go ing to try to do all the damage pos sible if Murphy continues his favorit ism by punishing one man and letting another go for the same offense. If a man Is a stool pigeon, he can do anything and Murphy cater to stool pigeons. "Too much favoritism is Murphy's trouble. He Is trying to make stool pigeons of the men. Some men he reprimands for an offense; others he punishes severely. It must stop. This man must be released from the hole. If not the flax mill will be burned up. You know there are men In here who will do anything. You take the mat ter up with the governor. No flax no Job for you. Remember, tell the governor that Mike Anderson must b turned out o the ' ole or the flax plant goes." More Money Needed HAVE YOU DONE YOUR BIT FOR CHRISTMAS FUND FOR SOLDIERS?

October IS. made the act effective after that date and required that all Canadian citlsens between the ages of 20 and 84 who are bachelors or widowers without children, Teport to Canadian officials for military service before November 10." Canadian citlsens residing In . the United States are not exempt. Captain J.'W. Carter, in charge of the" British recruiting station at Third and Oak streets, is urging that such Canadians as are in Portland report to him at ones. "There are doubtless some men in Portland subject to conscription who have not been Informed of the proclamation,- said Captain Carter. "They will be given a hearing if they report at once. But those arrested and con victed of attempting to evade the law will be given severe punishment."
